Facebook has millions of users. More than likely that includes you. When you work at or own a business, reaching out to those users is a must. The following piece includes useful ideas for Facebook marketing for your business.

Keep spam off of your Facebook page. There are filters you can use when you edit your page which help you to monitor your page, even when you’re not around. Keywords which you or a fellow administrator have chosen will be filtered out automatically.

Facebook is primarily a means of sharing content. Facebook is not just good for informal chatter, but it offers a platform for serious content as well. Use it in this way. Write some actual blog posts and then promote them via other channels through your Facebook page. You will see that Facebook brings you a great deal of traffic!

Facebook Offers is a great way to promote freebies and contests you offer on your site. Set up your offer and switch it to Promoted Post via your Wall. If the offer is very good you can also promote it to those who are not fans.

Do not ignore any questions or comments that are asked of you on Facebook. Make sure to give helpful answers, and thank them for their time. Share links to articles if they answer questions posed on your site.

Before you do anything else, you must build your audience. This means that you shouldn’t waste time really marketing services, products or offering promotions until at least 5,000 followers are achieved. The interest in your products will automatically start to skyrocket once that threshold is reached.
